$
\pi r^2=\frac{1408}{7}
$
Volume of a cone $=1005 \frac{5}{7} cu . cm$
$
\frac{1}{3} \pi r ^2 h =\frac{7040}{7}
$
$\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1408}{7} \times h =\frac{7040}{7} \ldots($ from (1))
$
\begin{aligned}
& h =\frac{7040 \times 3 \times 7}{7 \times 1408} \\
& =\frac{7040 \times 3}{1408} \\
& =5 \times 3 \\
& =15 cm
\end{aligned}
$
$\therefore$ Height of a cone $=15 cm$
$
\pi r^2=\frac{1408}{7} \ldots(1)
$
$
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{22}{7} \times r^2=\frac{1408}{7} \\
& r^2=\frac{1408}{7} \times \frac{7}{22} \\
& r^2=64 \\
& r=8
\end{aligned}
$
Radius of a cone $=8 cm$
Slant height of a cone $( l )=\sqrt{ h ^2+ r ^2}$
$
\begin{aligned}
& =\sqrt{15^2+8^2} \\
& =\sqrt{225+64} \\
& =\sqrt{289} \\
& =17 cm
\end{aligned}
$
$\therefore$ Slant height of a cone $=17 cm$
$
\pi r^2=\frac{1408}{7}
